For the past4 years, Ron's son, Dan has joined the ranks of drivers in the Modified division and his working hard to carry the family name to Victory lane. Davies daughter, Michelle, is alsoan often seen face within the race world as she travels with the race team to thevarious tracks. Michelle is engaged to Shane Clanton, another WoO favorite.

With several Track Championships and hundreds of wins, Ron Davies has earned a very strong race history. His large fan base is diverse and has steadily grown throughout his 35 year career. His talents and unorthodox driving style have won him the nickname, "Rim Rider". Davies is well-known for his love of the edge of the upper part of the track, or "Rim." Few drivers utilize this part of the clay oval race surface because of its loose and dangerous characteristics. Davies has mastered this technique and uses it to his advantage as he passes competitors on the "top side." Drivers and fans, both, know this is risky business, which is one of the many reasons Davies hasconsistently been a crowd favorite for more than three decades. He's been known toput on quite a show throughout the years! Many would think at the age of 52, a driver's better racing days have passed, but this is not the case for Davies. His experience, racing record and genuine people-friendly personality have landed him a golden opportunity.

He is competing for the"World of Outlaws, Dirt Late Model Rookie of the Year" title this 2011 season.
